The Legacy of Nursing Licensure

Did you know that Texas has been regulating nursing for 117 years? Texas was among the first states to establish nursing licensure laws in the early 20th century. These regulatory frameworks were hard-won through decades of advocacy by nurses who knew that licensure protects the public—not just the profession. That foundational mission continues to guide the Texas Board of Nursing today.

Learn more about this legacy on the Texas Board of Nursing’s History page: https://www.bon.texas.gov/history.asp.html
